Thiagarajar School of Management
- a Background
Thiagarajar School of Management
(TSM),Madurai has established itself in the Southern part of India as one
of the premier citadels of learning, rendering creditable service to the
cause of higher education.
TSM was founded in 1962
by the doyen of the South Indian textile industry, Shri. Karumuthu Thiagarajar
Chettiar - a great philanthropist who also founded several engineering
and arts colleges, polytechnics, teachers' training institutes, and primary
and secondary schools. |

impression of TSM's new premises. |
The initial
objective was to provide quality management education for working executives
and entrepreneurs. The success of this programme resulted in the inception
of a part time MBA programme in 1972 followed by the full time MBA programme
from 1986 onwards. With the phenomenal growth in the Infotech industry,
a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) and full time
MCA programme were added to the curriculum in 1993 and 1994 recepctively
and MS(IM) is being planned from 2000 onwards.
Right since inception,
the school has firmly believed that there is no substitute for good education,
and all available resources are used to provide each student with quality
education and facilities. |
